Overview

The 91343 digital telemetry multi-parameter transmitter sends NIBP patient data,

acquired by the 90217 ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) monitor, to the 90478

digital telemetry receiver. The 90478 displays the patient’s episodic NIBP data

and trigger alarms based on thresholds set at the patient monitor.

The 90217 ABP monitor is a small, lightweight, battery-powered unit designed to

take blood pressure measurements. Refer to the 90217 Operations Manual

(070-0137-xx) for more detailed information on this product, its initialization by a

direct PC interface (90121 ABP Report Management System Operations Manual

070-0529-xx), Patient Preparation, and Event Codes.

NIBP uses oscillometric monitoring to measure systolic (S), diastolic (D), and

mean (M) arterial blood pressures. The pressure readings are sent from the

90217 ABP monitor to the 91343 transmitter by a connecting cable. The 91343

transmitter then includes the NIBP readings in the communications to the 90478

receiver using the radio frequency data link. Received NIBP measurements are

checked to eliminate the possibility of erroneous readings and valid

measurements are displayed on the patient monitor and stored in the patient

monitor for trending. The Ultraview monitor displays valid measurements and the

time the measurement was acquired. The most recent reading is displayed by the

Ultraview monitor. The most recent 120 readings are stored and may be displayed

by the monitor.
